STORYLINE:
The spoils of a feast that's over forever were on display in New York on Friday, before being auctioned off to help the victims of one of the biggest investment frauds in history.
Almost 200 items seized from the homes of the fallen financier Bernard Madoff go under the hammer in Manhattan on Saturday.
They range from furs, dishes and stationery to a Rolex known as "The Prisoner's Watch" because it was among those made for Allied prisoners during World War II.
This one belonged to Madoff, 71, now a 150-year prison sentence for defrauding investors.
Proceeds will be divided among Madoff's victims.
Madoff was sentenced in June, 2009, for orchestrating a decades-long Ponzi, or pyramid, scheme in which investors are paid with other investors' money rather than actual profits on their investment. The scheme destroyed thousands of people's life savings and wrecked charities.
As the lots went on show, two former computer programmers for Madoff's investment firm were arrested on charges of helping to cover up the fraud for more than 15 years.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission said Jerome O'Hara and George Perez provided the technical know-how needed to produce false documents and trading records, and took hush money to help keep the scheme going.
